Agnontas after the flood

Although all three beachfront eateries at Agnontas – the Korali restaurant, Pavlos taverna and the beach cafe/restaurant Ouzeria Agnontas – took a pasting during the September storm and in later rough weather, there are signs that even this worst-hit beach is making a comeback. The Korali, at right above, has been about as thoroughly gutted as you’d imagine possible, and we’ll be keeping an eye on its progress. Pavlos was also inundated but owner Thanasis seems busy preparing to reopen in the spring. The Ouzeria was more or less wiped out, so we’ll have to see what its owners plan nearer springtime.

A visit to Limnonari beach revealed the scale of devastation there as well, and the further O Tomas taverna remains unreachable except along the beach, but we hear a rustle that folks at Limnonari are in discussions with the dimarkeion to get the road there repaired. Siga siga. Thanks to mike for the shot of Korali.
